 Dear Neighbors,
I hope you’re enjoying the slow transition into fall. I recently had the honor of participating in the push-in ceremony to welcome a fire truck at Station 4. This more than $2 million investment reflects our city's commitment to public safety, and the brave firefighters who take care of us 24/7. Thank you to Fire Chief Fernando Gray, and Station 4 Captain Robert Macias for their leadership. Get involved and learn more about resources offered by our Las Vegas Fire & Rescue.
Mark your calendar for Oct.17th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Las Vegas Book Festival is around the corner! Don't miss an exciting lineup including Tony Weaver, Jr., Jon Ralston and Yasmine Angoe.
Meet Ward 3 Arts Commissioner Fawn Douglas, and Freddy Godinez and Randy Mendre with Friends of Huntridge Park on my latest Access City Council!
Yours in service,
Mayor Pro Tem
